So I'm scrolling through my Facebook news feed and I run across this poster put out by Planned Parenthood Ottawa, and I thought it was rather cute:
Or rather, I thought it was rather hypocritical considering what other Planned Parenthood chapters have done without contest or mitigation.
It was posted by a Facebook page/group called "Trustable Sluts" (Original post here. Last accessed Thursday, Thanksgiving Day 2015.) with the following caption:
This is so funny.
I mean, this is precisely what we, as intactivists, have been saying all along.
I replied on their post with this:
Our whole point is that children should be allowed to make decisions about their own bodies, their own boundaries, and that their wishes should be respected.
Tying a child down and forcibly cutting off a normal, healthy part of his body teaches him from day one that his body is not his own, that it is for others to do with as they please, and that they should sacrifice themselves for the need and satisfaction of others.
Let's see how long before this gets deleted, and I'm expecting it.
Lord forbid someone slap people with with their own hypocrisy.

I replied on their post with this:
"Hey Planned Parenthood Ottawa. You know how you can teach parents about respecting a child's consent and bodily autonomy? Tell them to forgo male infant circumcision. Otherwise this graphic is pure lip service. Wait for the "that's different" arguments. You can't teach children "consent and bodily autonomy" when the first thing you do to them once they're born is strap them down and cut off part of their most private, intimate part of their bodies."
